APRIL CONNECT FROM ANYWHERE (CFA) EVENTS

SIIA Advocacy in Action - Government Relations Webinar Update Series - April 13th at 2:00 pm EDT

With a new Administration and new Congress in Washington, DC, 2021 promises to be a very active year with regard to legislative/regulatory developments affecting the companies involved in the self-insurance/captive insurance marketplace. To keep members informed about what they need to know, SIIA’s government relations team will be holding a monthly webinar series from January through June.

SIIA Medical Travel Webinar - Cleveland Clinic - April 15th from 1:00 – 5:00 pm EDT

SIIA has partnered with Medical Travel & Digital Health News to develop a CFA seminar series to specifically highlight medical travel destinations – both domestic and international – that provide low-cost/high quality health care treatment services for self-insured employers. We recognize that it may take a while for travel to return to normal, but when it does, this potential cost management solutions will receive increased attention. The April edition will focus on The Cleveland Clinic.

SIIA CFA Future Leaders Summit - April 20-22nd

The self-insurance industry has started to witness a significant generational change, with an increasing number of its established leaders transitioning into retirement. Coming up the ranks behind them are many talented younger members who will lead our industry in the years and decades ahead.

SIIA is encouraging this transition through its SIIA Future Leaders (SFL) initiative. The highlight of this initiative in 2021 will be a SIIA Future Leaders CFA Summit that is being designed to help prepare these younger members (under 40) for the challenges and opportunities ahead of them. This live event will offer engagement opportunities as part of each session, as well exclusive connection opportunities with other younger SIIA members as part of an entertaining and interactive networking session.

Bonus Networking Opportunity - Escape Room

Experience an escape room from wherever you are. This “add on” event to your SIIA Future Leader Forum will be a fun, interactive event that will test your “outside the box” thinking. Game Masters will serve as your personal in-game avatar! Sign up for this is done through the forum registration process but you will want to sign up early as there are only 30 spots available in the escape room.

Hot Topic Webinar Series - NonNetwork Payment Experience in a Pandemic – April 28th from 2:00-3:00 pm EDT, sponsored by QBE

Non-Network Payment Experience in the Second (and Third) Waves of COVID-19 Just when the self-insurance industry started to get a handle on how to apply Reference Based Pricing and related non-network payment arrangements to COVID-related claims, some important variables have changed.

The infection rate has surged in many parts of the country, new treatments have been introduced and vaccines are now being made available for certain segments of the populations. These moving parts have scrambled the playing field again for those self-insured payers who regularly by-pass traditional network arrangements. This session will feature a panel of leading industry experts who will share their observations and analysis on how non-network payment arrangements need to adapt given the latest COVID-19 developments and we can expect in the coming months.

SIIA CFA Members Only Networking Happy Hour – April 29th from 5:00-6:30 pm EDT

While we wait for improving public health conditions to allow for in-person networking events, the association is pleased to announce the launch of a monthly “Connect from Anywhere” (CFA) networking event produced via the Zoom video platform. The next event is scheduled for Thursday, March 25 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. EDT. The event will continue to be held monthly on the last Thursday of each month through June. The casual “happy hour” format will start with an interactive trivia contest and then will prompt participants to rotate among small group video chat rooms to maximize connection opportunities. Following the conclusion of each event, an attendee list with complete contact information will be provided to all participants to facilitate easy follow-ups for anyone you connect with live.
